Thanks Chuck.
 
I am trying to use Successive Over-relaxation to so= lve linear equations defined by M*v=3Dq.
 
There are several goals:
 
1. Eventually (in production) I need it to be= fast.
2. I am playing with the guts of the algorithm for= now, to see how it works. that means i need some control for now.
3. Even in production, there is a chance i'd like t= o have the ability to tinker with the algorithm.

Hi,

I am new to numpy. I'd like to know if it is possible to code efficient
iterative procedures with numpy.

Specifically, I have= the following problem.

M is an N*N matrix. Q is a N*1 vector. V is an N= *1 vector I am trying to
find iteratively from the initial value V_0. The= procedure is simply to
calculate

V_{n+1}[i]=3D3D1/M[I,i]*(q[i]-
(M[i,1]*v_{n+1}[1= ]+M[I,2]*v_{n+1}[2]+..+M[i,i-1]*v_{n+1}[i-1]) -
(M[I,i+1]*v_{n}[i+1]+M[I,i+2]*v_{n}[i+2]+..+M[I,N]*v_{n}[N]))
I do not see that this is something that can esaily be vectorized, is
it?

I think it would be better if you stated what the actual problem is= . Is it a differential equation, for instance. That way we can determine what the= problem class is and what algorithms are available to solve it.
